kernel: futex: Drop CLONE_THREAD requirement for private default hash alloc

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's futex subsystem. The needfutexhashallocatedefault function incorrectly relies on CLONETHREAD semantics, which can lead to non-concurrency issues when memory allocations mm-futexref pcpu allocations are shared across CLONEVM clones, excluding vfork. This can...

CVE-2026-52973: Use After Free

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: futex: Drop CLONETHREAD requirement for private default hash alloc Currently needfutexhashallocatedefault depends on strict pthread semantics, abusing CLONETHREAD. This breaks the non-concurrency assumptions when doing the...
